[maemo-developers] QT Packages, Repositories and PR1.2

[From: Felipe Crochik]

Attila,

> Hate to be the bearer of bad news :( What we managed to agree for the
PR1.2 release is that development releases starting with PR1.2 will not be
called libqt4-maemo5 as it's not that obvious that it's *really* just a
version for testing, prone to breakage and not necessarily the exact one
that will end up in the next PR. Future releases will sport the
'experimental' moniker (f.e. libqt4-experimental, python-qt4-experimental)
so it's more clear that it (and stuff depending on it) are not meant to be
promoted to end users. Not ideal, but hopefully will reduce confusion until
a better solution is found that is acceptable for both Nokia and the
community.

I started this subject after reading the post by Venemo
(http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=52442) so I decided that a good way
to close it would be to add a post there (page 4). 

Having threads like that "out in the open" and "our" exchange of emails
remind me of why I wanted the n900 so badly. It is a pretty unique device
and even more unique community. I hope "we" can manage to make it more of a
"mass market" product so nokia can justify maintaining it but, at the same
time, I would hate to have to give in this "geek" feeling to it. 

Thanks again, 
Felipe
